he plays a pheromone without touching it. moving once it will move in the air the notes float all around so i can play a note here or here or here or here. carolina ike numbers among the world's best there are many players she's an eco classic award winner and performs regularly as a soloist the world over here in concert with the brussels philharmonic. she also plays electronic music she wrote herself.

the ferryman sets up an electro magnetic field like me influenced by the human body that in turn changes the sound. of this upright antenna determines the pitch when i move towards the antenna the pitch rises. and this little turn tenure on the other side controls the volume so if i move further away the sound gets louder. russian physicist lee and their men unveiled the instrument in 1020 some of the musicians and bands who have experimented with it since are the beach boys led zeppelin tom waits and as john me shows yaar. the movie going public is familiar with the sound of this forbear of the superstars or from horror

and science fiction films it's still used occasionally on soundtracks even now. because this tradition came about because when the pheromone was 1st developed musicians played with lots of abroad even on the violin and other instruments ringback. among us if you apply that to death aram and it sounds a bit spooky. carolyn i got her very 1st fareham and at age 7 she learned to play from among others the inventor's own grandniece. by age 16 she developed a new technique that's now in general use worldwide that allows the musician to play with far greater precision the instrument reacts to every slightest movement. ever if i so much as breathe. that changes the sound. so to

me very precise notice i have to stay completely still. but if i play notes more freely in an experimental performance for instance i can move my entire body up and. carolina i expend some years in stockholm leipzig in los angeles recently moving back to berlin normally she would be playing concerts the world over but with the corona pandemic raging she has no live appearances instead she's been working on a new album passing on her expertise the tribal governments right i've been writing my 2nd primer for the famine 15 years ago i wrote my 1st one and now i'm putting out a supplement and of course i'd be happy to see people learn from it and the fireman becoming more widely accessible have. the pheromone was one of

the 1st electronic instruments now 100 years after it was invented it still sounds futuristic. the was. christmas is over but some people still keep their christmas tree until the end of january then strong onto the sidewalk where the trash collectors pick it up sometimes the trees are brought to design for the animals to snack on have you ever wondered how it tastes i actually haven't but an austrian ecologist was curious and decided to take a bite and he discovered that you actually can eat your christmas tree. wood candy. the christmas tree looks good enough to each literally. than

a christmas tree is actually a food with a very exciting taste that just stands in our living rooms and has never been eaten before. but let's start at the very beginning to its season and is a woodland ecologist from austria in a forest outside of vienna he collects wood to use as an ingredient in some ingenious recipes trees ringback aren't just for building and decorating they can be tasty treats or wood has an incredible variety of flavors everything really from the oak trees vanilla and chocolate the taste with a bit of coconut to the populars honey flavor or the alder tree with a touch of raspberry it's really an unbelievable range. just like the bark of a cinnamon tree species can also be tapped to use as spices his favorite is finely ground plain bark. flavor is very interesting it's very intensive with

a resinous touch to it as you might imagine but also if you know the taste of really dark chocolate the 100 percent cocoa type it also has a bit of that. the trees edible layer is called the can be and it carries water up the trunk into the branches and crown caesar allocca got the idea to sample the cambium while out canoeing one day and he observed a beaver family on the shore. a light bulb went on in my head who would know better about the taste of the tree than the beaver that list from it and always looks quite well fed. so i started to try out the bark and cambium from various trees. those are the parts the beavers actually eat the. ecology and eating. are 2 interests that go together quite well the woodland gourmet has a rather original plan for discarded christmas trees. for your friends now i'll show you how you can prepare the entire christmas tree by from the needles down to

the bark cambium and even the wood. first of course the decorations come off then the pine has to be stripped down. 2 for the 1st course the needles are ground up and mixed with knots parmesan cheese and or oil to make a creamy pesto. to get to the juicy cambium the bark has to be peeled away from the trunk it can be fried in the oil to make ultra crispy and surprisingly delicious chips. for dessert i'm sure dries the pine bark and bakes cookies with it. has to grind it up very fine. mixed with butter sugar and a little flour it yields a dove with a somewhat chocolaty flavor. or it's

a group and lastly the ground bark is mixed in and the oven a wonderful pine aroma one fold. and so with a little preparation and a bit of imagination you don't need to sit down at an empty table you can have a 3 course christmas tree meal next year the old tree won't get thrown out but cooked baked served up and eaten the woodland ecologist has no doubt whatsoever. my business tree tastes better than any holiday dinner. on. if you're not in the mood for a snack and on a christmas tree check out alternatives are you tube channel d w food. down legacies.

a lot strands of her brooch is knocking. using these and other costume jewelry this artist constructs a sparkling gallion in art you were sent painstaking detail. my name's i'm towns and i'm an artist and i make sculptures like this from objects or other people might throw away. discarded hangers become the feathers of a head dress. the old buttons are transformed into postage stamps on countless cans and bottle caps busts modeled in classical tradition and carrington turned junk into. i like using materials that other people don't notice and bring bring them to their attention something that might be overlooked like a button or a button copy that require a beautiful thing i think it's nice to shine a light on move objects and for people to be able to see them in

a different light. this became a flower this is also made of scrap metal. the british artist must. speak into the petals and stems of flour as. she was. into a much nissen rangelands of flour as the impulse to create the sculpture came from small step paintings this was. that i saw in painting in the rights museum. and i decided that i wanted to make a sculpture inspired by his still life painting. now i'm carrington's own extravagant in case of being exhibited in the victoria and albert museum in london these elaborate pieces cost up 210-0000 euros many celebrities already have

a carrington at home also appeals to the taste of british royalty. in 2012 of the 60 s jubilee of queen elizabeth the 2nd and carrington constructed an opulent run up from about half a 1000000 golden button the design was developed in close consultation with prince charles the banner was draped over the stern of the ship in which the brawl family embarked on a parade cruise. with a merry thing and of course for you i've been making posted. and actually making a pink house with wonderful. carrington finds the material for how often junk shops like this one in here were doctored hometown of margate in southeast england. a specific object often captures her attention becoming the foundation for a new piece of work. i use a lot similar materials to make my artwork swats of multiples and i when i come somewhere like this i'm going to find multiples. if i don't have enough hair

sometimes i'll go on a. scrap yard. an auction. during her studies more than 30 years ago and harrington was a ready working with found everyday objects she used a wide variety of materials including 10 but there's one still tempt i'd actually like to work with glass so i recently did a glass course and now. i can glass a little bit but i'm still no expert but. i've been looking at objects like this been thinking wouldn't be fascinating to build maybe crystal flowers or. building blocks using perfect bottles. no matter what material she gets her hands on and carrying 10 turns in conspicuous junk into beautiful parks of art. it's called

the land of fire and ice and for good reason iceland is home to some of the world's most active volcanoes and the largest glaciers in fact the biggest glacier in europe is in iceland for our series europe so the next we send your america report ahead with a vending to brave the cold and explore this extra ordinary place so poorly over cold coals. iceland in winter it's a place of snow and icy extremes this is the largest glacier in europe. but climate change is endangering its crevices of ice caves and floating ice bergs high time quick thought on board. or on for

a rather large wheel. but neither could glacier is actually an enormous ice cap in southeast iceland with the volume of some 3000 cubic kilometers no other glacier in western europe holds more it stretches over 140 kilometers east to west across the island southeast. the western tip lies over 300 kilometers from the capital take along the southern ring ropes. my 1st destination is an ice skate at the glaciers edge. by 35 ventura. the case can only be reached in a specially adapted sheet of all goes well the trip takes about half an hour.

but the weather in iceland is quite unpredictable the road conditions so. we cover the final stretch of the journey on foot one. of the glacier these aren't on we are here at one of the volcano you're coots 40 some glacier tops the ice caves underneath are a popular tourist attraction. the thicker the ice and the less oxygen it contains the more intense of the color. can you see. the color this is it's mind blowing. it's leading you to the ice caves can only be entered safely during the winter months when the ice overhead in state. after it warms up many of them disappear

forever. in the summertime the temperature goes up the ice is melting and we've got water flowing this is cutting the ice which is creating the caves but also the very glaciers are retreating because of global warming so when we go to the cave at the edge of the glacier the next year it's more probably gone it's a melted where we have to go looking for. the next day i approached europe's largest glacier from another side. richard belzer taking me to another glacier tongue. the higher we climb i steer it. here i'm beginning to realize the true dimensions of this glacier. the ice reaches

a maximum of 950 meters thick but like most glaciers these days you can just retreating. likewise there was almost a top of that large. concrete that was kind of level of the ice here so it's gone mad. yeah i don't have to liberate us hostages it's a very fragile or gleiser if you want so when are that sinai going to last another sort of terror 300 years and then worst of it will be gone. in our descent the storm took us by surprise. at the foot of the volcano you could glacier confronted with the vastness of nature and suddenly few very very small. blip was far more extreme than i expected with all the storms of the ice fingers it was just

reminding. me. let's go back indoors now over the past 20 years munich based staff and its has created a wide range of everyday objects his the science the combination of traditional craftsmanship and the latest technologies he has a look at some of his newest and a what's winning creations. colorful minimalistic and clever optics designs by munich stefan dietz range from lamps to furniture to table where . else they have one thing in common understated functionality. good design has a lot to do with acrobatics a good ass a bag can manage to make things look elegant even if they're very complex.

complexity. is new its design is a floor lamp that functions for the helps joints instead to move will clips attached to an electrical cord and now the fiberglass rod to be adjusted to position the lamp is made of mostly recycled materials and can be disassembled without. it one stefan dietz the german sustainability award for 2021. we made i know it's lamp here almost 5 metres high we came up with this concept a flexible rod with a super lightweight shade attached and we tried to push it to the extreme. so we can put the lamp in a corner and illuminated dinner table almost 3 metres away with. the floor level to manufacture a myth god is based on that well known model type 113 a desk lamp designed from 1923 just one of the 1st serially produced adjustable lamps. products that were last manufactured for the companies or

bauhaus designs which were very mechanical with this background my idea was to do the exact opposite of what i had to be something that was kind of the antithesis of this 1920 s. mechanics which is a methodical that's once i got it. into contemporary form from traditional design designed to bend chair in 2007 employing a process that uses steam to bend toward the peonies torn it brothers company made design. history with that coffeehouse chair inventing the technique in the middle of the 19th century. dietz further developed the method for his contemporary chair designs. he also combines industrial assembly with design in 2011 the chelsea office chair he designed for the german manufacturer of il khan was released it uses materials for undercarriage uncomforting production in the auto industry and was awarded the prestigious red

dot design awards the development took 4 years because of course you can't just walk up to b.m.w. or mercedes and say let's make a chair some designer they don't know approaches them with an idea and of course the company wants to know if they should invest in the project so for me a lot of time goes into this kind of research into finding a partner who wants to work on the project with the element of craft for and to do before studying industrial design he completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter today and he of munich studio together with 4 product designers he develops designs that are produced by such prestigious labels as my 50. s. that i think design is primarily about a light touch even if your ambition for a project or project is immense you can't lead to imbue the process with havingness . that's has a lot to do with humor and you have to succeed in taking a playful approach. which is that dietz has already designed around 50

products he likes to think outside the box and meanwhile has become one of the most important german designers working today his most recent project is a system the slip covers can be changed quickly and easily proving that. a flexible and sustainable approach to design never goes out of style. and that brings us to the end of i want to show but visit us online where you will find many more interesting reports as well as our viewer draw we're giving away this backpack full off goodies join us again next week by no.

this is g.w. news live from berlin poisoned russian opposition leader alexina volumnia is back home the kremlin critic departed berlin today after spending almost 5 months in germany recovering from a nerve agent attack the volley now risks arrest in moscow over a suspended sentence. and preparing for insurrection all 50 us states are on a high alert for violence in the run up to president elect joe biden's inauguration this week 25000 national guard troops are tasked with protecting the capital.

i want him welcome to the program russian opposition leader alexina volley has returned to russia arriving in moscow after recovering in berlin from a nerve agent attack that almost killed him he's certain the kremlin was behind the poisoning claim backed up by western governments and denied by russia. avali faces potential arrest in moscow over an earlier suspended sentence is flight was diverted to moscow sheremetyevo airport instead of novo as was planned where police have forcefully cleared supporters from the arrivals area making several arrests. in our correspondent emily sherwin joins us now from the original airport that no volley was supposed to land at and really what's the latest you can tell us. well

the latest i can tell you is that just a few minutes ago or perhaps a half an hour ago this area behind me was full of supporters who were chanting his name they were chanting that russia will be free and it almost felt a bit like a protest several arrests were made as you say there was a huge police presence the barriers that were set up yesterday are still in place here but his plane was diverted to shouldn't need to go as you say a different airport there have been now reports that that he has landed he made a short speech upon arrival saying that he's happy to be back in russia and apologizing to his fellow passengers for the inconvenience that he may have caused because the plane was after all basically half full of journalists who were trying to interview him in that plane. and we're getting reports that they are trying to perhaps prevent his supporters and other journalists from arriving at the other

airport and should be made to by blocking partially blocking roads and checking passengers even before they've arrived at the airport or whether they actually have a ticket or whether they're just trying to catch a glimpse of the opposition politician so vali is landed we've seen pictures of him going through the airport what happens now. well it's kind of hard to know what happens now there have been basically since the announced last week that he would be arriving back in russia today there have been there is theories about how the kremlin would prevent his arrival from kind of barring him somehow from getting on the plane to kind of hold him in the airport apparently because of coded restrictions to diverting him to another airport that was one of the theories that some people here have been discussing they didn't i think the kremlin didn't i think want to kind of come out of the airport to a crowd of supporters shouting his name instead they have been. wanting to kind of

downplay his importance over the last few years now there are several cases that still pending against him 2 cases on embezzlement one that's kind of an older case and the prison service here has actually put him on a wanted list and said that they would arrest him so he might be arrested today he might be arrested in a week he might not be we'll have to wait and see. and some people are saying it's crazy what involved he's doing going back to russia where his life has been threatened he's been a thorn in the kremlin side for years what's novelli saying about why he wants to be back in the country. levein me has always said that russia is his country that he's a patriot and he's always said that it's important to be kind of present on the ground he says that for the upcoming duma elections which are planned for september he's advocating 1st of all both

a strategic voting strategy so he's calling on his supporters to vote for the party most likely to beat putin's united russia in the elections but he also has always said that being kind of present in protests is important for people and so on. so i think that's. it's always been clear to me that he would want to come back despite the personal threat to him as you say. emily at the airport that did not end up landing and we are getting word that he's been confronted by security where he is but it is unclear if he's been arrested emily i'm sure i'll be talking to you later as the news progresses thanks very much and let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world. the men have shot dead 2 female supreme court judges during an early morning ambush in the afghan capital kabul violence has surged recently despite peace talks between the afghan

government and the taliban in qatar more than 200 women judges work for the top court. in tunisia violent protests have broken out for a 2nd night in at least 6 cities anger is mounting over economic hardship and deteriorating living conditions and he has been marking the 10th anniversary of the revolution that sparked the arab spring uprisings. all 50 us states are on high alert this week for armed violence against the inauguration of joe biden as president about 25000 national guard troops are part of a huge security presence in washington d.c. ahead of wednesday's swearing in the f.b.i. is warning domestic extremists may target the nation's capital and elsewhere. they're heading to washington d.c. from all over the country national guard troops in this case from washington state in the far northwest of the u.s.

they'll join thousands of other so-called weekend warriors to secure the inauguration all of them military trained men and women given time away from their regular jobs to serve where needed their presence is requested in the capital city and much appreciated by capitol police who were overrun on january 6th in a siege of the capitol building there also appreciated by residents here. back here and you know why they're here and that's a little bit you know nerve wracking and also disappointing that the city's sort of been turned upside down as a result of what happened a couple weeks ago it's been really scary because we're concerned not only for the capital in the buildings the white house the neighborhoods because we live just very very close to the stage is set for wednesday's inauguration ceremony on the steps of the capitol building an event that normally draws hundreds of thousands. but in 2021 kilometer after kilometer of steel fencing has been set to prevent

access to not only the seats of government but even the residences of those in the incoming biden administration. what it is john but understand i mean we had you know american terrorists that were trying to you know create problems it's not only washington d.c. concerned about violent attack minnesota's snowy capital indeed the capitals of all 50 states are beefing up security for protests that could go well beyond the ordinary remaining national guard are on standby should the run up to the presidential inauguration or the day itself turn ugly. let's get more for the situation elsewhere in the united states and for that we have correspondents stuff and simons joining us from lansing that's the state capital of michigan stuff and welcome what are authorities there in lansing michigan preparing for. well they actually preparing for the worst now they don't have the deluxe version

like washington d.c. has a 25000 national guard troops and a really sturdy fence what you have here is a few 100 national guard troops a lot of state police of course and a construction site little bit of a flimsy fence there glock ing off the capital right behind me but no doubt floridians here think that they need to be prepared for something your courage is not going to be pleasant and remember that they had this before here this building behind me was stormed by owned by a mob of just a few months back in the height of a coronavirus crisis here in the spring and so this is of course what they don't want to have the problem is here michigan is a free carry state what does that mean is you can buy a gun you can get the gun you put it in your whole store wherever and you walk around you don't for a handgun not even need a license for anything beyond that yes you do but everybody gets one in about

whatever a day and it costs $10.00 and run around with a gun guns aplenty in michigan as is the case in many parts of the united states why is the state of michigan so worried about threats of domestic terrorism. well good question the answer is that the f.b.i. just in october just in october a few months back arrested 13 people they are really they were uncovering a plot against those against the government and those 13 people arrested by the f.b.i. now are charged of course they planned to kidnap the governor and 2 with violence with guns overthrow the government so michigan has a history off being a state where a lot of militias are are around just you know they are they here they are all over the america of course but they're specifically in michigan that is a militia rich state so to speak and we have in the background here people who are

carrying their their summary automatic rifles around. as if it was nothing like your lunch box and again if this if this escalates and this is what authorities want to of course not see then this goal really really bad really really fast because everybody's waiting on stuff and simon is there for us in lansing michigan thanks very much. a daring climber has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity by staling a skyscraper in hong kong if it was all the more impressive because the disabled athlete tackled the climb while strapped into a wheelchair. by no means an easy task. let alone strapped into a wheelchair nevertheless climbing this 300 metre tall skyscraper was the idea of hong kong timing champion lie to you why all to raise money for people with spinal

cord injuries like himself who. you know. some people don't understand the difficulties of disabled people. they think that we always feel like we help we need you but it doesn't have to be like that if a disabled person can shop they can bring hope and opportunity and they don't have to be a past week. or you fuck you fuck all 10 years ago a car accident left a lie paralyzed from the waist down and it took him years to take up his beloved climbing again. he never lost his determination. but scaling a mountain is one thing trying the same thing on the side of a glass structure in a wheelchair is something else. i

i'm sure going to. save you will see a. degree of. twitter facebook the enormous. social media has never been so clear since the rioters stormed the u.s. capitol in washington the platforms out of control and what role has opened up for new players like maybe. us president trump pretty much government. he used twitter to speak directly to his almost 90000000 followers among them were fans and foes people in politics and business and from the press win win situation for trump on twitter for

a long time but now social media has suddenly put the brakes on by blocking his accounts private companies are betting the world's most powerful man from speaking out what does it mean when digital corporations have this much influence. the twitter account real donald trump had 89000000 followers now all that's left of his beloved megaphone and weapon of choice is his twitter handle. trump fired up 12200 tweets in 2020 alone often with alarming content. with just a few words on twitter trump was able to mobilize his supporters who recently even stormed the capitol in washington d.c. trump raised them on the popular social media site. by sign and sing donald trump facebook and twitter how to accomplish what police

and politicians basically failed to do prevent a further escalation in violence social media the president but this raises new questions you should social media posts be plucked if so which posts and who gets to decide meanwhile trump tweeted from other accounts rallying support and planning further action. twitter has deleted his tweets and states. any other account. with many other platforms with. his own platform well that's one way to stop people from silencing him many right wing conservatives had already jumped ship from twitter and facebook anyway because of blocking and the left and headed for alternative platforms like me we. and it was a particular that many radical supporters rallied in the capital this is what it looked

like. they shared photos of themselves storming the capitol. they made fun of frightened politicians and threatened them with violence. violent hate speech has been trending on the platform. to kill the pedophile hang them and tighten the news media uses he wants to crash the system and throw politicians behind bars. the group on the gap network says that when democracy becomes. the only option. and of course there have been plenty of me. flying around. also in the firing line of these alternative

platforms the media and major social networks believe that they have been infiltrated by communists and that global elites systematically suppressing the truth anyone caught in these circles could be led to believe it's all a big conspiracy against the patriotic americans. these opinions were in that apple and. immediately hosting services to the network is now 10. parabole offline policy would amazon against what they say is a politically motivated decision why is this particular platform being held to account at the same time the hashtag hang mike pence then viral on twitter shortly after the capitol was stormed. and extreme conspiracy videos are still as widely available as evan on you tube moderating content is a tricky business and not exactly a success story yet eps like polamalu themselves as mediators all on biased news

and an alternative to the big play as a place where users have freedom and the uses take this one step further as this post shows. but if you're thinking that only trigger happy right wing extremist proud these alternative platforms then think again the main investor in the network which was founded in 2018 is rebecca the most a family trumps biggest supporters many opinion leaders and republican politicians now have pollack counts liberal groups on the ill too and have web as well tim berners lee is on me we saw advisory board the man who is generally credited with inventing the world wide web and a long time can pay not for internet. the call for freedom of speech is of course not just the right wing phenomenon. one conspiracy theory making the rounds is that microsoft founder bill gates unleashed the corona virus so that he could implant everyone with a chip understand michigan new world order. facebook and twitter have been removing

this content and banning the users who push it online like donald trump that is why tech startups like pollitt have surged in popularity founded 2 years ago this twitter alternative recorded more than half a 1000000 downloads and a single week to social network me week climb to 3rd place in the apple and google app store because both are now content that is now banned on twitter and facebook there's been a flurry of posts and comments making wall speculations about the side effects of the covert 19 vaccine. they warn against vaccinating children even though the vaccine has not yet been tested on them and isn't approved for anyone under the age of 16. months weinstein is the founder of me we. you know we. reach uncommon rules. so if. you have an opinion about whether

a vaccine is affected or not and you are not posting heat content inciting violence . breaking the wall then that's none of our business social media is what section $230.00 is all about it protects freedom of speech. this is also important to consider calling google he believes that democrats stole the u.s. presidential election we watched him opening me we account he firmly believes that facebook and twitter want to stifle voices like his. throwing them out i was so hard going through british portrayal i was a liberal search you are want thumper. i want to hear what they have to. have a discourse we're referring to each other rather to prove. one of us was always. but so far here both attempts to find a spectrum of political opinions on the new tentative social networks have been in

vain the only follow a suggestions he received some parlor right wing conservatives like fox news presenter hannity phil robertson from the reality t.v. show duck dynasty and donald trump winterburn trump he swiftly joined partner these new social networks are also quickly becoming a dangerous echo chamber. echo chamber that's something you hear a lot of the moment i think twitter facebook etc played a crucial role in dividing society for years they've been luring their customers into these bubbles showing them only what aligns with their worldview to keep them on their platform for longer and make more money from the controversial and shocking clips are rife because they hold the users attention perhaps as no wonder that some users see the current intervention as an infringement of their freedom and are looking for other spaces where they're not silenced until now u.s.

platforms have not been required to moderate or censor content thanks to a law that was established in the $990.00 s. one that cyber security expert describes the $26.00 words that created the internet . silicon valley is home of social media networks and section $230.00 is the foundation they rest upon. it states that companies like facebook and twitter are not liable for the content posted on their platforms. this section of the u.s. communications decency act is seen by many as a card to blanche to publish anything and everything. but these sites might soon have this immunity to me. their position as impossible publishes would be history it would mean big changes for uses to. women eric goldman in the heart of silicon valley mountain view he's

a law professor and trains lawyers to work with tech companies he says platforms cannot be held responsible for all content. section $23.00 it's become a euphemism for the broader phenomenon of tech clash there's a lot of anger towards the existing internet incumbents and feeling like they have too much power and that they're really not power in a poor way and section 230 is viewed as the tool that they rely upon in order to engage in this abusive activity. there are several bills that address the $16.00 to $30.00 reform the proposed changes would affect 3 key areas which content can be removed to whom to section to 30 apply and how will companies monitor online content in breach of regulations a 3rd category is to try and impose some kind of procedure on governance over internet services to say whatever content you're dealing with this is the way in which we want you to manage your content moderation operate on something like the

pact that says you have to provide people who want to complain about content a phone number and if you remove continue to tell the people who come to why it was removed. the house with these extra more transparent widely available channels of communication for reporting inappropriate content users would think twice before posting in the 1st place goldman is critical of the reforms though saying they won't keep tech giants in line but they will drive startups and smaller companies into financial ruin we're competing with another fine example how do we have a user edit encyclopedia in a world where the operator that service is liable for whatever problems are created by their users it simply doesn't exist what's the world look like if we take we would have to. we take away from this and like write it that let us talk to each other and it's more conversational we're not having anywhere else. the internet has of course opened up new horizons of possibilities but right now social media is

like an uncontrollable tidal wave of fake news and hate speech with serious consequences for all of us it's an almost impossible conflict to result but for me one thing is clear the decision about what can and cannot be said should not lie with private companies and we as uses need to shop not fact check 1st of all social media listen to people's opinions that contradict our own and report hate speech to the operators it's worth i want time what do you think your support complete freedom of speech or do you think content should be moderated is it ok to ban someone after they've been warned or is that censorship that is not on facebook you tube on d.w. dot com that's all for me so you next time. please.
